    I had one this week. Haven’t heard it for a while. I’ve got the 350 Chev powered HQ one tonner rust free with a 4 speed M22 Rock Crusher up for sale. everything is new and built in the last few years. leather interior, 12 bolt diff with LSD, new carpets up for $28k. my sandman arrives soon so I don’t need it.
    guy rings, offers me $20K and I said no thanks and tell him all the procedures and materials that went into building and engineering this one off vehicle. Inspirational quote of 2020, he replies
    “Well, You’re a F... wit”
    I think I’ll use that as a family crest;
    “We are F... wits”

    350 Chev powered = medium sized V8 engine
    HQ = old 70's holden like on the Kingswood country sitcom
    4 speed M22 = gearbox more suited to 1 tonner utes with low ratios for heavy loads

    Well, You’re a F... wit = I have no money and want the car for nothing and throw in an insult at the same time.

    I believe Captain Cook was the original author of that quote.

    I have seen newsreels of Cook uttering that when he stepped ashore at Sydney Cove in 1770.

    If there was one in front, it would be a case of putting the cart before the hearse.

    Jim Rohn:
    - The difference between where you are today and where you'll be five years from now will be found in the quality of books you've read.
    - Books are what you step on to take you to a higher shelf. The higher your stack of books, the higher the shelf you can reach. Want to reach higher? Stack some more books under your feet! Reading is what brings us to new knowledge. It opens new doors. It helps us understand mysteries. It lets us hear from successful people. Reading is what takes us down the road in our journey. Everything you need for a better future and success has already been written.
    - Don't read a book and be a follower; read a book and be a student.

    Classic Jim rohn!
    I have youtube vids and podcasts of his stories saved on my phone, commuting to work via the university on wheels helps a great deal with mental attitude and perspective as well as goal setting, discipline etc etc. 40 min drive to and from work is actually quite enjoyable.

    A few that I continually find myself telling myself recently.

    "Nothing is as important as you think it is, while you are thinking about it"
    - Daniel Kahneman

    You can have anything you want, but not everything you want.
